lumoxs 0 Posted November 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 thanks dude just trying to think of the best way to "tidy" the wiring, i suppose some heavy duty electrical tape wopuld be a good option then buy some more plastic wire covers....as mentioned samco i think is a deffinite go. and polished rocker and inlet also. i got a sweet little idea for the boot of the car.... so gonna try n put that plan into action and see how that plays!

lumoxs 0 Posted November 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Well see in as I totally fubard up yesterday I thought it needed a fresh look in the bay, Now my plan is to go semi smooth bay, loose the battery loose the header tank and possibly loose the washer bottle. Not sure yet if I wanna go that far as the intention was just to loose the wires as a flipping hate see in wires in a bay - pet hates n all that!!So, I ordered some satin sand military paint - hammerite pretty much. And put a coat on to see how it looks.Now this is a first coat without and wet flatting, I plan on puttin on about 3 coats with a 1500 wet flat between them to try and loose the brush lines. Anyway. Here.Will look good against the brown.....Think see in as I got plenty of time on my hands will probes drop the engine and subbframe out again to clean it up and paint it.
